Ide Trader School

The ever-friendly face of the Unicorn is that of the Ide. Ide Traders seek to solve problems with negotiations first, as they know any business dealings between friends and equals is as strong as steel. While some of the other Clans think the Ide are soft, none can point to when they were properly able to take advantage of this supposed weakness. The Ide Traders ignore insults and politely welcome compliments in equal measure, making their true thoughts undetectable to the average opponent. They have a vast knowledge of cultures, both Rokugani and foreign, which allows them to tailor their dealings with incredible precision and secure the supplies their Clan needs to survive in the fierce North.
